Welcome to our wiki!

Here you will find the project’s documentation. We moved it to this wiki so that it’s easier to keep it updated. Maybe more importantly, everybody can help us improve it!

If you would like to contribute a larger chunk of work, please consider cloning the wiki repository as described here and sending a pull request.

In the beginning there will be many changes and updates and not all places where information is missing will be marked as such. Please have patience.
